cleveland cg 10 and cg11 wedges..

[tim31x]

hey guys, Dick's Sporting Goods has a really good sale on these. I'm curious about the "dot system" that they use for bounces(i.e. 1dot, 2dot, 3dot). I have a fairly steep swing with my wedges, i don't dig much but I take a divot. I like to keep the ball low and generate alot of spin, I also like to open the blade and hit flops and other shots like that. What one is the best "dot" for me, and what do the dots mean?

P.S. I am buying a 52* and 56*...maybe a lob wedge

I've had a CG11 56° mid bounce (2 dots) for 2 years and I love it. I confess that I rarely use it for anything but bunker play since I got my X Tour 52° and 58° wedges, but I've never used any SW I've owned for much but sand play. I use my other wedges for 99% of my chipping and pitching. It's just how I got used to playing and for me it's a good policy, because I like the added bounce in my SW but I've never chipped well with a high bounce wedge.

The dots are: 1 dot low bounce, 2 dots mid bounce, 3 dots high bounce. For me 2 dots is right for the way I play bunkers, and it's suited to most players for a SW. If you are going to use a wedge more for chipping and pitching (52°, 54°, or 60°), I'd go with 1 dot.

After years of producing the classic 485, 588, and 691 wedge lines, Cleveland has started to go model happy a la TaylorMade. The CG11s are already out of production except for the women's models.

My experience is that very low bounce is best in high loft wedges if you use them as I do, primarily around the greens for little finesse shots. If you've got the stones to take a full swing with a sixty, then you'll need a little bit of bounce not to dig in. Of course, if you like to play high, soft shots from forward in your stance, then the bounce becomes an annoyance again.


High bounce is theoretically best in sand, but while the trailing edge specs are what define the modern sand wedge, I don't like any of them. That's because I've grown accustomed to the extremely curved leading edge of the old fashioned dedicated sand iron. But I'm in the minority there, which is good, because the shot-specific dedicated sand iron means fewer all-purpose clubs in your bag.

I wouldn't go that far, they are at best on par with all of the other OEM's.
